Power cords are of different types, and can be bought from most of the electronic spare part selling shops, and wont cost more. Keep the damaged power cord with you as a sample, when you to to buy a new one.

I lost the key to unlock the treadmill

Step 1
Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet
Step 2
Use an Allen wrench to remove the bolts on the console cover. Lift the cover and locate the safety switch. It will be in proximity to the key slot. Depending on the particular treadmill, the switch may or may not be attached to the console cover.
Step 3
Locate the wire leads on either side of the safety switch. Most often, the switch is enclosed in a housing and a pair of leads may attach to terminal posts on the housing. Remove the leads from the terminal posts by turning the brass screws counterclockwise with a small screwdriver. If the leads do not terminate outside the switch housing, use wire strippers to cut the leads close to the housing.
Step 4
Strip the ends of the switch leads 1/4 inch to expose bare wire. Twist the ends of the stranded wire tight with your fingers. This is necessary for a good contact. Cut a piece of insulated wire as a jumper bypass that attaches between the ends of the switch leads. Strip the ends of the jumper wire 1/4 inch and twist the stranded wire ends.
Step 5
Insert each end of the switch leads into an insulated crimp connector. Crimp the connectors with the wire strippers to secure the wires. Insert the ends of the jumper into the open ends of each crimp connector. Crimp the connectors with wire strippers.
Step 6
Wrap the jumper wire and crimp connectors with electrical tape. Continue the wraps onto each of the switch leads. Replace the console cover and reinstall the bolts that hold it in place. Plug in the treadmill power cord and press the "Start" button on the console to turn the treadmill on.
Things You'll Need
Allen wrench
Small screwdriver
Wire stripper
Insulated electrical wire
Crimp connectors
Electrical tape
Tips
Soldered connections can be used in place of crimp connectors. Refer to the owner's manual or solicit the manufacturer for a wiring schematic, if necessary. Use a similar gauge and type wire as the jumper bypass.

What is power brick cord?

An AC adapter, sometimes called a power brick, is a little box that takes the Alternating Current (AC) line voltage from your house receptacle and converts it into a Direct Current (DC) voltage that is used by your electonic device (computer, hard drive, etc.). This power brick sometimes has a separate power cord that is removable from the brick. This cord usually connects to your house receptacle, and sometimes it is a standard cord with standard connectors on each end.

I WHICH TO PURCHASE SOME HEADPHONES FOR SRF 59

follow this steps and fix it. God bless you
    • 1
Locate the faulty connection along your cord. Plug in your headphones and play sound through them as you jiggle the cord at various points to locate what part of the cord is cutting in and out.
    • 2
Cut the cord using wire cutters an inch or so past where the fault in the cord is. If this is at the connector, cut the entire connector piece off. If it is near the headphones, cut off enough to eliminate the faulty section and still allow the cord to be reconnected.

    • 3
Strip the end of the cut cord. There are three wires in the cord: the left channel, the right channel and the ground. The left and right normally are colored, and the ground is bare.
    • 4
To repair a poor connection where the cord meets the headphones, match the wires with the correct leads coming from the earpieces and twist them together. Wrap the wires with electrical tape.
    • 5
To repair a bad connection at the connector jack, acquire a new 1/8-inch connector and attach the cord's inner wires to the appropriate points on the connector. Connect the left channel wire to the tip, the right channel wire to the ring, and the ground wire to the sleeve. Solder all the wires in place.
    • 6
Connect the headphones to a sound source and test for proper function. Jiggle the cord at the new connection to make sure it is secure and does not cut in and out.

Help...Lost the power adaptor for my Lumisource Boomchair SVC. What are the power specs?

I need one too. I found the owners manual on-line and it says the AC/DC Adapter we need is 12volts and 2500ma (2.5amp). I wrote to the company to see if one is available. If not, I may just try to find one that matches the voltage and amperage, cut off that odd male end and wire it directly. the only issue will be finding the positive and negative.

Dome camra wire connection with bnc

Preparation
Before installing your RCA camera scout the area and confirm that you will be able to run the cable from your surveillance digital video recorder (SDVR) to your camera. You may want to use RG59 Siamese cable, which is a single cable system with three wires: a coaxial cable for the video and a positive and negative wire to provide power to the camera. If you are installing your camera outside, place it at least 10 feet high to minimize tampering, or put your camera in a dome or other protective housing.
Coax Cable

BNC connector
If you use Siamese cable to wire your RCA camera, you will run the cable first, and then install a BNC (bayonet Neill-Concelman--named for the inventors) connector on each end of the cable. BNC connectors vary by manufacture; install the BNC connectors according to the connector instructions. To get a general overview of the process, see the Resources section for a video on installing BNC connectors.
Power Wires
Plug with standard lamp-type cord
element electric power black image by Leonid Nyshko from Fotolia.com
Plug with standard lamp-type cord
Your camera came with a power supply with an integrated power wire; the power supply plugs into a standard wall outlet and the other end plugs into your camera. The cord is probably not long enough, in which case you will have to cut it and splice the Siamese in the middle to deliver power to your camera. The power supply wire is designed like a standard lamp cord and must be cut in half and split. One of the wires will be marked with a stripe, a series of dashes, a rib on the insulator or some other marking (just like a lamp cord). The marking indicates that this is the positive wire. After cutting the supply cord, connect the portion with the camera plug on it to the Siamese cable at your camera and then connect the power supply portion to the other end of the Siamese cable near your SDVR. The positive (marked) power supply wire should be connected to the red Siamese wire and the other wire connected to the black Siamese wire. While many people use wire nuts to connect the wires, connecting the wires with a wire beanie (see Resources) will provide a higher quality installation.
Plug-and-Play
Plug-and-play cables make it easier for homeowners to install their cameras. These cables incorporate all three wires into one cable system and come with connectors preinstalled so that you will not have to install connectors or cut wires. This is slightly more costly than assembling your own cable, but it will save you time and you will not have to purchase special tools to install the connectors. Run your plug-and-play cable and connect it by following the instructions which come with your cable. See the Resources section for a video on installing plug-and-play cables.

Mouse sander just gone dead! Could this be brushes?

If the machine has seen considerable use, brush failure is a possibility. If the machine is AC powered, the plug end of the cord can sometimes fail--just cut the cord end back a little and install a replacement plug. If it is battery powered, the battery may have lost charge or there is an intermittent connection. Good luck!
